17 years. SEVENTEEN YEARS I spent on Reddit, through thick and thin. Gamergate, Ellen Pao, AMA collapse, the whole shebang. I never would have gotten through it if it weren't for Alien Blue and Apollo. But this shit? here? and now they're just nuking entire mod teams en masse? I left 19 days ago, and you know what I did? I joined a team developing an iOS app for Lemmy.

Nero can strum his lute and watch as Rome burns. I don't care, for I have better things to do and better places to be. I have found my new home.

Another long-timer. Would add to your list of apps that made it all tolerable BaconIt (Windows Phone, went through a phase). 3rd party apps ARE (sorry, WERE) the Reddit experience for millions of users. Huffman's declarations are hubris. He may own the 2-monitor setups, cubicles, payroll and have keys to the building, but he is not the owner of the thoughts, feelings and ideas users forged into the site's lifeblood. It's not his to monetize.
